Hello All,
What is the process of reinstalling/reactivating license at F5 VE. Current license has 1G throughput but need to replace with the one has more throughput.

Hello Subrun,
It would probably be easiest to activate a new license through the GUI. This guide will take you through the process.
Feel free to ask if you have any follow-up questions,
Austin
SubrunHello Austin,
Thank you for your reply.
Looking at the Doc you provided look like I need to follow below steps. So my query is should I delete the already existing license from the Add-On Box or just add the new one.
=========== Activating the add-on module using the automatic activation method
To re-activate the license with the add-on registration using the automatic activation method, perform the following procedure:
Log in to the Configuration utility. Navigate to System > License. Click Re-activate. Paste the add-on registration key into the Add-On Key box and click Add. Click Automatic. Select Outbound Interface that has connectivity to the license server . Click Next. The BIG-IP system automatically connects to the F5 License Server and activates the license.

You can technically do either I believe. Whenever I perform a license activation/reactivation I usually keep the old key saved somewhere just in case something goes wrong with the activation and I have to go back to the old license.
